the scary thing is in that poll and a lot of recent polls you've seen the shift in demographics. shift along racial lines so miltate romney could conceivably get 60% of the white vote. when you take the white male vote that's significantly higher. that's a much higher percentage i think. george w. bush got about 55%. on the other hand, the latino vote could go 80% toward obama. so the divides along demographic lines within that poll and all the polls much sharper than anything we've seen before. >> woodruff: what does that say about our country, mark? have we seen this before where the politics was so divided so clearly among ethnic and racial lines? >> well, there was a time when the democrats won presidential elections with a solid white south, when no african-american voted up until the civil rights movement since 1964 we've seen the two parties change. the democratic party was the party of white working class voters. now the strongest constituency for republicans is none college educated whites. and the problem is they were 62% of the electorate when ronald reagan got elected
